Trish Calhoun — I Design Forward Movement

Trish Calhoun

I design forward movement.

In organizations navigating transition. In people ready to stop repeating what they've outgrown. In experiences designed to give you back something you forgot was yours.

Different containers. Same throughline: build the structure, and movement follows.

Why all of this fits together.

I spent fifteen years inside complex systems. Large organizations. Scaling teams. Product migrations. Program architecture. The kind of work where if you don't build the structure right, nothing moves — no matter how hard people push.

Before that, I spent eight years on active duty in the U.S. Army Signal Corps — Georgia, Okinawa, Washington state. That's where the systems thinking started. Not in a classroom. In operations where structure wasn't theoretical. It was the difference between things working and things falling apart.

Most friction isn't about effort. It's about structure.

People stall when something hasn't been properly designed, properly completed, or properly aligned. They keep pushing against the same wall because no one helped them see the wall was the wrong one.

That insight runs through everything I do now.

When I work with an organization navigating a messy transition, I'm designing the structure that lets them actually move through it — not just talk about it.

When I work with someone who keeps choosing the same relationship pattern or can't leave the role they've outgrown, I'm not interested in another year of processing why. I help them structurally complete it so they can stop carrying it.

When I design a travel experience, it's not a vacation. It's a curated reset — the kind of space that gives you back a version of yourself you forgot was in there.

When I notarize a document or officiate a ceremony, I bring the same precision and presence. These are moments that mark transitions. They deserve more than a rubber stamp.

Design the structure, and movement follows.

Four lanes. One operator.

I'm not building a single-offer business. I'm building a portfolio life. Here's what that looks like.

The Put It Down Method™

Completion over conversation. A direct, structural methodology for people who understand their patterns but can't stop repeating them. This isn't therapy. It's not another year of processing. It's the work of actually finishing what you've been carrying so you can build something real.

The short version.

Eight years active duty, U.S. Army Signal Corps. Three duty stations — Fort Gordon, Okinawa, Joint Base Lewis-McChord. That's where I learned that structure isn't an abstraction. It's operational. When it's right, things move. When it's wrong, people get stuck and it costs.

After the military, I spent fifteen years in enterprise transformation — program management, change enablement, continuous improvement. Regulated industries. Large-scale migrations. The kind of work where you're building the delivery system while the plane is already in the air.

Five years ago, I started training in systemic constellations with Michael Spayd. That's where The Put It Down Method was born — a completion-based framework grounded in the idea that most people don't need more conversation about their patterns. They need to structurally finish them.

Certified across program architecture, agile transformation, and enterprise coaching.

I built all of this on purpose. Not because I couldn't pick one thing — because I see how they connect. The throughline is always the same: design the structure, and people move.

I care about clarity. I care about coherence. I care about forward motion that doesn't cost your sovereignty.

Veteran. Enterprise transformation leader. Architect of systems and transitions.

I build with augmented cognition.

Artificial intelligence is not my voice. It is not my authority. It is not my substitute.

It is infrastructure.

I use AI to compress research cycles, stress-test frameworks, map complexity, and accelerate iteration. I do not outsource discernment, authorship, or responsibility.

My thinking remains mine.

My decisions remain mine.

My accountability remains mine.

AI expands capacity. It does not replace sovereignty.

I do not hide that I use AI. Transparency matters. But I also do not perform it. Tools are tools.

The future belongs to operators who can integrate technology without surrendering judgment.

I intend to be one of them.

Let's talk.
